Early life and education

Aliaga-Alcalde completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Barcelona.[1] She was a doctoral researcher at Indiana University Bloomington. Her research considered the synthesis of tetranuclear manganese single-molecule magnets.[2] These polynuclear metal complexes can display unusual magnetic properties due to the large number of unpaired electrons.[2] She was a postdoctoral researcher at both the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion and Leiden University.

Research and career

In 2007, Aliaga-Alcalde joined the University of Barcelona, where she was made ICREA Researcher Professor at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC). She established a research program focused on functional nanomaterials[3] and the development of molecular magnets. She is particularly interested in curcumoids and porphyrinic-like coordination complexes.[4]
